A GIRLS IDEA OF A MAN.

The following conversation was
overheard in a hotel at Weldon, N.

Two younggirls were chatting on
sofa, un~consciousIy drawing the at

their conversation. Said one:
"Selina is going to marry Lieu

she do but take the hero into her

The applause that followed this
speech was tremendous. The SOL

their feelings in loud huzzas, while
the landlord and attendants rushed
into the room to see if the yankees
were whipped Chicago Ledger.

BLACKN1TLTNG.

A young man at Providence has Just con-
tossed in court that an action begun by him
against a wealthy citizen was false and fraud
ulcnt throughout and undertaken as a lAecli-
mailing operation, the plaintiff lawyer being.
according TO him, party TO the conspiracy.
The lawyer denies all knowledge Of the fraud
ulent intent Of the client but as TO the latter
his own statement must be received so far rs
it regards himself. His confession was full
and apparently frank, not to say calous and
impudcnt He told the court that he had
undertaken the false complaint to get money.
and had expected that the accused man would
be willing to pay heavily rather than let the
case, which was scandalous, go into court.
ID Is probable that the young scoundrol had
more than little warrant for his expectation.
As he remarked. such changes are often made
for the same purpose and rich and prominent
men, even when knowing that they have a
complete defence, no doubt have frequently
yielded 10 the backmailer a'her than appear
In court to answer to charges absolute limo
cence Of which cannot prevent some faint
clinging TO those against whom they arc pre-
fcrred
1t was believed that the attempt to extort
money from Joseph Moen last year, the trial
OF which revealed one Of the most remarkable
and successful blackmail cases on record, was
Of this character; and that though there was
no truth in the charge, the OBJ ject of it was so
Mortified at the thought Of having his name
coupled with such infamy that he allowed him
self to be robbed Of fortune But the folly
OF such weakness ought to be apparent even
to the most sensitive people. Experience shows
that immunity can never be purchased by sub
mission. The villain who plots such crimes
is not to be satisfied with first ransom. The
more he reflects on his success the more he
longs to repeat the experiment, and the victim
who has yielded once may go on paying black
mail in everincreasing amounts until he dies
or is ruined. Mr.. Steer, the Providence mill
ionaire, fortunately for himself was wise in
time He would hold no parley with the black
mailer. He fought him from the first, and
finally drove him to confession. Tho case
onght to be lesson to rich men who are
threatened similarly. No matter how repulsive
publicity may appear TO them, IL is their only
salvation. A man who Is innocent, and has
means wherewith to prove his innocence. can
never afford 10 shun tho courts when chal-
lenged by conspratos. To yield is bondago
and humiliation. To fght is to expose the
